  • the black region includes at least one magnetized pattern 102a directed to the right; in the black region including more two dots, the right-oriented magnetized pattern 102 and the left-oriented magnetized pattern 101 are formed alternately; the white region includes only the left-oriented magnetized pattern 101; and the unit length of the left-oriented magnetized pattern formed in the black regions is significantly shorter than that of the left-oriented magnetized pattern formed in the white region.
  • the magnetic field generates from the magnetization transfer region to the air, so that the toner is attracted.
  • a magnetic field having the direction shown by 110a is generated from the transfer regions 103a and 103b
  • a magnetic field having the direction shown by 110b is generated from the transfer regions 103b and 103c.
  • FIG. 3(C) the development under the developing field 37 as shown in FIG. 3(C) will be explained.
  • the magnetic field 110a generated into the air by the magnetized pattern and the developing field 37 due to the developer device magnets 35, 36 have the same direction, these are added vectorically so that the force from the transfer region 103b to 103a can be increased.
  • the toner 31a can be easily attracted between the transfer regions 103a and 103b.
  • the toner 31a shown in FIG. 3(D) protrudes from between the transfer regions 103a and 103b. This is near the real model due to the reason that the transfer regions have an actual width and the dimension of the toner particles is 10 to 20 ⁇ m.
  • the magnetic field 110b generated into the air by the magnetized pattern and the developing field 37 are opposite in direction. Therefore, when these are added vectorically, the force connecting the toners from the transfer region 103b to the transfer region 103c decreases. As already mentioned, the distance between the two regions is longer than the distance shown in the magnetized pattern, therefore, the force from the transfer region 103b to 103c is originally weak. As a result of further reducing the amount of the developing magnetic field 37, almost no toner is attracted, as shown in FIG. 3(D), so that a white image is produced.
  • the magnetic field 110c, 110e generated from the right-oriented magnetized patterns 102b, 102c to the air can be considered the same as the already mentioned 110a.
  • the toner is thus attracted forcibly.
  • the direction of the magnetic field 110d generated from the magnetized pattern 101c is the same as that of the white portion 110b, so the attractive force of the toner is weakened by the developing magnetic field 37.
  • the distance between the transfer regions 103d and 103e is considerably shorter than the distace between the transfer regions 103b and 103c, so the attracting force of the toner is inherently strong. If it is weakened by the developing magnetic field 37, only the amount of the attracted toner decreases (shown in FIG. 3(D)). The image does not become a white image, however, it becomes slightly faint.
  • FIG. 3(F) This is shown in FIG. 3(F) as the developing magnetic field II, 38.
  • the developing magnetic field 38 and the magnetic field 110a generated in the air by the magnetizing pattern 102a for forming a first black regions are opposite in direction.
  • the toner attracting force in this portion is thus weakened.
  • the distance between the transfer regions 103a and 103b is short and then the toner attracting power is strong.
  • the amount of toner is just somewhat decreased (the toner 31f of FIG. 3(G)).
  • the developing magnetic field 38 and the magnetic field 110b generated in the air by the magnetized pattern 102b for forming a white area have the same direction, so the toner attracting force in this portion is strengthened. Therefore, the toner is attracted, as shown by the toner 31g of FIG. 3(G).
  • the magnetized patterns 102b, 102c showing the next black area the amount of the attracted toner somewhat decreases as with the magnetized pattern 102a.
  • the magnetic field in the air formed by the magnetized pattern 101c in the black region has the same direction as that of the developing field 38, the toner attracting force is increased, and a considerable amount of the toner 31i is attracted.
  • the magnetic field 110f generated in the air formed by the magnetized pattern 101d for next two white dots is also strengthened, however, the distance is long, so the attracting force is weak.
  • the field is aided by the developing field, so some toner is attracted to form a gray color.
  • FIG. 3(G) a picture having a very low resolution is formed.
  • the magnetic field 110a, 110c, 110d, 110e between the transfer regions having a short distance have a force which can attract 100 toner particles
  • the magnetic field 110b between the transfer regions having a long distance has a force which can attract 30 toner particles
  • the further longer magnetic field 110f has a force which can attract 10 toner particles.
  • a print having a low resolution is obtained in FIG. 3(G).
  • the erasing head When a recording method is used in which a positive or a negative current is made to constantly flow in the coil 22 of the recording head 2, the erasing head is not always necessary. However, when it is desired to erase all of the drum in one stroke, or when one direction is previously recorded by the erasing head and the pulse current is made to flow in only one direction in the recording head, the erasing head is necessary, and the direction of the magnetic field is preferably set as mentioned above.
  • FIG. 6 shows one example of the distribution of magnetic field in the developer enabling a print having a good image to be obtained.
  • the magnetic field is measured at the peripheral of the sleeve, and both the tangential direction and the normal direction are shown.
  • the preferable gap between the sleeve 32 and the drum 1 is 1 to 4 mm, more preferably, 1.5 to 3 mm.
  • the peripheral speed of the recording drum 1 is set higher than that of the sleeve 32. It is considered that the differences of these peripheral velocities contribute somewhat to the formation of the image.
  • a print having a high resolution can be obtained by mutual action between the developing field and the magnetic field generated by the magnetized pattern for the recording.
